We celebrate #NationalDoctorsDay by uplifting the physicians who provide reproductive health care, advocate for their patients, fight stigma, and push back against policies that put the health of their patients at risk. Because of them, access to care continues to exist.

You shouldn't have to be pregnant if you don't want to be. And that shouldn't be controversial.

When we talk openly about periods, advocate for access to menstrual products, and challenge harmful myths, we create a culture where menstruation is treated with care instead of shame. 🩸✨ 🎨: kaikathleenn #periodpositive #menstruation #menstrualcycle

Today, we have an op-ed from Texas leaders of @msfchoice.bsky.social, who say Texas Tech’s recent decision to cancel a talk by third-trimester abortion provider @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social in response to a Turning Point USA pressure campaign goes beyond censorship:

Future physicians are better prepared to serve their communities when abortion care education is treated as essential. 🩺

Birth control SAVES lives. It should never be up for debate. Most people will rely on contraception at some point in their lives. It supports chronic condition management, pregnancy prevention, and the ability to plan a future on one’s own terms. ✨🗓️ #birthcontrol #contraception #reproductivehealth

MSFC chapters in various medical schools have responded to legislation that affects patient care and helped shift the culture of the medical community around abortion care. ⁠

Abortion training should be a standard part of medical education, but many medical schools leave this care out of the curriculum. MSFC fills those gaps by providing family planning education and hands-on abortion care training. 💙 #medstudents #abortioncare

Reproductive Justice was created in 1994 by a group of Black women who didn't see themselves reflected in the current Reproductive Rights movement.⁠ This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the Black organizers and activists whose vision, labor, and leadership built and continue to sustain this movement.

🎊🎂 33 YEARS of MSFC! 🎂🎊 What started as a vision has grown into a global movement led by medical students, residents, providers, and a community that believes reproductive health care should be accessible for ALL. Over the years, we’ve grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

MSFC now has 13 chapters across Germany, including RWTH Aachen University, where medical students organize workshops and lectures on reproductive health education, including IUD insertion and abortion care training.⁠

The vision for 2026 is clear: the next generation of providers has the training and support they need. 🩺⁠ ⁠ MSFC student members are our grassroots activists, organized through chapters on medical school campuses throughout the world. 🌍

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of justice, equity, and freedom for all. ⁠ ⁠ We carry his vision forward by continuing the work toward a more inclusive future where health care and reproductive rights are recognized as human rights.⁠ #MLKDay
